Teaching you to find your inner creativity through papercrafts

As I have said many times already…I’m really liking all our new dies. They are just so beautiful by themselves and when you mix them they can be really spectacular. I designed two sympathy cards using Wisteria Wonder as the card base and different dies from the Rose Garden Thinlits. Here’s the first creation.

Maybe this looks familiar to you because I did make one that was square. These dies that just have the outlines are really fun to use. The sentiment was stamped with two stamps from the Rose Wonder SS – the outline and the words. Then, I cut it out with the matching frame from the Rose Garden Thinlit set.

Here’s a cute card using the Bird Builder Punch. It turned out so adorable I can’t figure out why I haven’t used this punch before! I am addicted to punches and now really liking all the new dies.

This bird is just so cute. I love Daffodil Delight with Old Olive…so classic. Of course any card can be dressed up with those great corners using the Curvy Trio Corner Punch. The white card is popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals to make it stand out. The sentiment comes from a great Hostess set called Happy Birthday, Everyone.

The inside has a little bird bringing the birthday greetings “to you”.

A peek at the front and inside together. Just turned the bird over to get it to face in the other direction.

I’m loving those Botanical Builder Framelits! Here’s another card we made in a private class. It was a big hit!

This card offers the opportunity to use dies and stamps. The light colored leaves were stamped (twice) first and then cut out with the die. I love the look of the long leaf on the side.

Here’s a close up of the flowers. We sponged the petals ever so lightly to give a bit of depth and curled them under. Of course, we “popped up” the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Love the effect. I think every card I have made using the Botanical Builder Framelits has been a hit with customers and class participants. It’s one of those “must have” sets.

This sympathy card has just a touch of color and of course butterflies are always special. I used the Perfectly Artistic DSP from Sale-A-Bration for the butterfly. I looked for a section that would look like butterfly wings.

I’m sorry but I used two retired stamp sets for the flowers and the sentiment. I just can’t part with certain sets. It’s difficult to tell but I used Elegant Eggplant paper and ink. It looks sort of like black in this photo. There is actually another Elegant Eggplant butterfly behind the yellow one. You might be able to see the shadow if you look closely.

This is my last quick and easy Thank You card using the Painted Blossoms DSP. If you scroll back you will see how the different parts of the one sheet of 12 x 12 makes a huge difference in the look of the card. I also changed up the card color and sentiment to make them a bit different.

I don’t think you need a lengthy description or list of supplies on this one – so for now
